The outstanding members of the band, producer Jimmy Haslip (B), Robben Ford (G) and big time basher Vinnie Colaiuta (D), are joined by two well-knows Larry Goldings (organ) and bluesman Robert Cray (G, vocals on It&#8217;s nobody&#8217;s fault &#8230;). The chefs are cooking at times, but let&#8217;s get <em>Move on<\/em> out of the kitchen. It doesn&#8217;t belong here.  <\/p>\n<p>I love <em>Chi Town<\/em> for its challenging rhythms and Colaiuta&#8217;s drum fills and lessons. <em>Hidden Treasure<\/em> brings to mind fusion group Brand X, and although he does very little, the organ sound adds a nice touch. With a funky beat and a mean bass solo, plus varying tempo changes, Mahavishnu&#8217;s The Dance of Maya from 1973 is resurrected on <em>Time is a Magazine<\/em>. Don&#8217;t get lost in the rhythm or Ford&#8217;s solo when listening to the tricky <em>Mezzanine Blues<\/em>. Thanks to Ford&#8217;s use of wah wah and Calaiuta feeling Cobham-ish, true 70&#8217;s jazz-rock comes to life on <em>Tangled Up<\/em>.  <\/p>\n<p>This is great fusion that only lacks an active keyboard. Robben Ford can do it. My suggestion: David Sancious. 4 \u00bd stars.        <cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jing Chi 3D(Shrapnel &#8211; 2004) by John Thompson It starts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3097\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
